Main opponent of the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential race, Muhammadu Buhari, has refused to take part in the presidential debates proposed by Channels TV.
The unexpected refusal obviously confused Nigerians who support Buhari and provided the rest with a topic for a heated discussion. Naij.com has researched social networks to find out what Nigerians think about this latest twist.
The topic has quickly gone viral on Twitter. What prevails in the majority of comments is disappointment: withdrawal from debates was not the kind of behavior Nigerians expect from a man who is running for Presidency.
Nevertheless, supporters are also trying to justify Buhari’s behavior.
A lot of assumptions have been made concerning the reason of Buhari’s withdrawal from the debates. According to most popular speculations, Buhari’s proficiency in English could be too low to shine in real-life conversation.
